Comments would disappoint soldier

Sunday

Editor, the Tribune: Iím a foot soldier for Homes For Our Troops and the main contact here in Columbia for them.

Iíve been reading these comments on your website about Staff Sgt Robert Canine. As a friend of the family and Canine,†I must say Canine would be very disappointed.

The way these people are bringing up the politics and the reason Canine is in the shape heís in, he would not be very happy at all.

What happened to Canine and why is not important. What is important is that the community come out and support him and thank him for his service.

Heís a very humble soldier and very thankful for what everyone has done for him.

So letís forget about the past and move†forward. I hope these people writing all these comments on your website have donated in some kind of way to help build this local hero a home. If anyone wants to know, yes, Iíve donated many hours of my time. I even donated the flag and flag pole.†

I want to thank everyone who came out and volunteered†their time or donated†material.
